Republicans In putting out the ringsters and bosses and professional office seekers of the Democrat party. I told them that the only way to clarify
the city government was to Join in supporting the Republican ticket and
put the City Hall gang out. I said that the Progressive ticket is a forlorn
hope and I believe this statement Is true. Do not divide and thus throw
away your votes, but unite and strike the enemy with a united force and we will surely win!"
There was not a word said about
the Progressives being barnacles. This can be proven by approximately two
hundred reputable men. To be char
itable, I say the party who started the report was in error.
This ought to end the incident. It
anyone, after reading this, makes the
statement again either orallv or in

By the tagging system a tax was levied today on men and women which late this afternoon had netted $300 for sweet charity. Every coin and greenback contributed is intended ta make happy some boy or girl at the Settlement House, in No. 9 State street. The weather was ideal for the occasion. It was a case of cheerful giving and cheerful receiving. Half a hundred women were stationed in the downtown districts, at the outskirtlng factories, and at shops and depots. By night they were all weary for the Job of tagging is not an easy one. The returns last year for the entire day netted $438, a neat little sum that went, a long way toward meeting the overhead expense of the House. Aside from the salary of matrons and the
cost of supplies there is a small expense connected with the house considering, of course, the extent of the
work.
